Does anybody know why things went south with us and 5* CB Joshua Dobson?

Set to announce, soon, until about a month or two ago we were seen as a leader. Any reasons?

Money. Apparently wanted DJ pickett type of check.

Havon Finney was a 5 star in the ‘27 class before he reclassified. Also Corey seems to think he can develop his 3&4 star recruits this cycle

He wanted way more money than lsu was willing to offer. Lane and lsu general manager ( forgot his name). Are not willing to pay any High School freshman top dollar unless they feel as though they're going to come in and start right away.

There's also rumor that he really liked LSU but his agent is the one pulling the strings behind his commitment

Not sure why we're not a finalist. We were the favorite.

ATM is in the lead for him the same reason they are for 1/4 of the five stars in this class....$$$. It's the sole reason they're getting blue chip out of state recruits.

$$$ is the sole reason every 5 star recruit commits to a team now. They all think they are worth prime Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders type money right out of high school.

Watching this eventual implosion is going to be a blast.

Not sure that it is the sole driver for all of them, but it is the most significant driver for many if not most.

He wanted more than any DB on our roster. So we moved on. If it’s just about money it won’t work out in the end.

Shea said today that the price other schools were willing to pay started soaring, and his agent told LSU they need to get to that price for Dobson to take his OV. LSU said absolutely not and Corey refused to even go with Baker and Olson to visit his HS teammate the next day.

Agreed. For anyone to not realize this is laughable. The shite is broke.

They’ll hop back in the portal once things go sideways and lsu can get them at a discount.

Bryce Underwood is exhibit A that they absolutely are not. “Generational starting QB” by every scouting service that saw him and 2 years later, people are saying he has no idea how to even play the position.
